Three years ago, the account had only 10,000 USD; now it has grown to 900,000 USD. No insider information, no luck involved, all built through a set of "clumsy methods" gradually honed in the market.

1095 days focused on one thing—treat trading as a craft to practice. Today, I share the six most stubborn lessons learned over these years. Understanding one can help avoid pitfalls; mastering three can keep you alive.

**A rapid rise doesn't necessarily mean takeoff; it often is a shakeout.** When the market maker is accumulating, they do this—pushing prices up to shake out retail investors. But peaks never come slowly; they often crash suddenly. Only beginners mistake this for a "healthy correction."

**A gentle rebound after a sharp decline is the biggest deception.** After a big drop, prices slowly climb, seeming like a bargain opportunity. In reality, it's most likely the last trap. Cheap coins always have reasons for their low prices—this is not just talk.

**High volume at high levels can be a lifesaver.** If funds are still battling, it indicates someone is still buying in; the real danger is high levels with no volume, meaning no one cares anymore, and a collapse could happen at any moment.

**Don't rush to buy on a single day of high volume at the bottom.** One-day volume spike is just a trap for more buyers; look for three or more consecutive days of high volume, which signals genuine "funds entering."

**Trading volume tells the truth.** Candlestick charts can deceive, but volume reflects real market sentiment—no volume means a quiet market; sudden volume spikes indicate capital inflow. Understanding volume reveals the market's temperament.

**The strongest skill is being able to hold no position.** Going flat isn't giving up; it's actively controlling the rhythm. When the market is bad, rest; when opportunities come, re-enter. Those who can maintain the rhythm will ultimately master the entire cycle.

Only trade real positions, not concepts. If you want to avoid pitfalls and grow steadily, don't keep wandering in the dark alone in the crypto world. Keep up with the rhythm, and use proven logic to earn stable profits.
